reviewed The Power of Tantra: Religion, Sexuality and the Politics of South Asian Studies on August 15, 2014 The Power of Tantra: Religion, Sexuality and the Politics of South Asian Studies
Years ago since I read it, but I still think back and get reminded at some of the concepts. That says a lot. Highly recommended to anyone who needs more help to understand a bit of sub-saharan African culture.
